Religion question to non believers

When a Christian says they will pray for you( and I don't mean pray for your souls, but for YOU, regarding something you are going through),does that offend you?
If it does, why? For a Christian, one of the best ways to show they care is to pray for someone, so if they have no other way of helping you, isn't the fact that they want to help in SOME way a good thing?

I have no problem with people praying for me. The more the merrier when those time come along.

I am a Christian, however I am not practicing right now (as in going to church each Sunday). We have family members and friends who are parts of different denominations and even different religions. Whenever we have been told we were being prayed for, we have simply thanked the person who was offering the prayers because the more positive thoughts we have in times of need, the more likely we are to get through it.

I'm not a Christian and a lot of things Christians do annoy me, prayer is not one of them though. If I'm having a rough time and a Christian says they will pray for me to me.that is saying "I wish you well and hope things work out for you" So much so that I'm willing to ask my higher power to help make that happen for you. Saying you will pray for me is a genuinely nice thing to do and is appreciated.

I'll take anything that's positive. pray, smudge, dance, etc. just don't judge or condem me or mine for believing differently. Words have power, the power to harm or heal. People forget that. I wish everyone nothing but good, I wish peace for and towards other peolple, all I ask is you afford me the same courtesy.

Not at all. I am thankful that someone cared. I often say to my family and friends, some of whom are Christian, that I will light a candle for them or that I send them blessings. They don't mind that either. We have a mutual respect of each others beliefs.
